I've been studying natal astrology from a book recently. Don't know much yet, but managed to grasp the basic concept of natal astrology. And i totally got captivated. Space and planets are not just random hovering things, but they are representations of us, each and every one of us. A natal chart, which is a mysterious circular diagram filled with lots of mysterious symbols, is a representation of a human. By looking at a natal chart, you are looking into the insides of a human.
By now some of you may be whispering to yourself, "Are you serious? You look at planets to judge people?"
No. Astrology isn't used to judge (i hate stereotyping). It does not determine one's full personality. It is purely a description of his/her potential. It is what he is borned with and can easily carry across his lifespan. Being a Cancer doesn't mean you HAVE to be sensitive to everything. It just means you are borned to be and you can be if you want to. If you aren't proud of your sign, you can ignore it.
Why is astrology so interesting?
You're going to judge me by saying this (in fact, i often say things to get judged for just because i want to be honest): Astrology defines me. It tells me i am a cancer and that i have this ability that is unique to my type. It provides me with the security that i need, because losing myself is one of my greatest fears.
And just yesterday, it showed me another piece of information that boosted my confidence to another level. I shall not elaborate though.
I guess in this post, you got to know a little more about me :)
